A Word from Our CEO

Jan 2013

We hope that you, your family, and your company found the holiday season to be prosperous. CheckMark has spent the past two years overhauling our Payroll Software and we hope that you are now enjoying the new features to the program, along with the new interface. With the updated program, we are now capable of adding many more features, so please keep your suggestions coming.

With that, CheckMark has kept a close watch on the Fiscal Cliff decisions. You’ll be happy to know that our latest update already reflects the changes the government has made to Social Security and Federal tax rates. Be assured that we are keeping up on things so you can focus on your business.
